Interesting to show the horrors of living as a woman in Greece and feminine rage. It Elektra herself is annoying and should have listened to the warning about revenge

Cansada de livros que falam que vão falar sobre mulheres e so falam de homens

elektra is so irritating it was hard to get through her chapters
liked the curse/fate arc that ties the three pov women together and am a fan of everything cassandra
and the prose was really pretty

i didnt enjoy this as much as ariadne but perhaps that is because ive read so many retellings of the trojan war specifically. maybe its just because elektra was really pissing me off. still thoroughly enjoyed it though.

I was really into the first 200 pages but the ending kid of dragged for me after the revenge stuff was done
Also for a book named after Elektra, she was the least interesting/relevant character?? I feel like the book should have been called Clytemnestra because her storyline gets a lot more focus and is, in my opinion, the most compelling of the three central characters.
